In order that those you love may be rescued,
    deliver with your power[a] and answer me!

God had promised in his sanctuary:

“I will triumph and divide Shechem,
    then I will measure the valley of Succoth!
Gilead and Manasseh belong to me,
    while Ephraim is my chief stronghold
        and Judah is my scepter.
Moab is my washbasin;
    I will fling my shoe on Edom
        and shout over Philistia.”

10 Who will lead me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me as far as Edom?
11 God, you have rejected us, have you not,
    since you did not march out with our army, God?
12 Give us help against the enemy,
    because human help is useless.[b]
13 I will find strength in God,
    for he will trample on our foes.
